Sometimes I go into the shower and scrub on my skin so hard in hopes that it will come off and I will step out of the shower looking the way I want to look, not looking the way I did when I stepped in. But that is never the case. I always step out looking the same way I did going in. But with much redder skin.

I’m still waiting on the “okay to proceed” from Dr. Medalie. Part of me is so insanely scared of a rejection. I’m truly terrified that he will say that I’m not a good candidate or there’s something wrong with me that he won’t perform the surgery on me. I really do not know what I would do if that was the case. I am so fortunate to have gotten this far...

I just sent in my information to Dr. Medalie’s secretary about finalizing my surgery date. He required the patient information (medical history) form, a letter from my therapist, and pictures to verify which surgery he would be performing. I asked him if he would perform a double incision, who knows if he will take my on preference into account. I also asked if he would allow me to not...

I’m going back to the retail flower shop this summer - 5th year, woof - and I came out to them as a part of my terms of coming back. It went over really well, actually. I stopped by yesterday to pick up my new uniform and my manager was talking to me in the office and mentioned that they had a managers meeting with the head of human resources about “prepping” for my return. She...

Bucket List
